George wrote, directed, animated and edited Boy in the BOX himself in 2004. He filed it under a genre of his own naming, “Psycho-Fiction”: a boy locked in a domestic room with a family whose heads have been replaced by household objects, lightbulbs and flowerpots among them, played as an absurdist allegory for isolation and family abuse. The effects work is his usual melting-skin body horror.
The film mixes live performance with stop-motion and green-screen compositing. He scored it himself with avant-garde electronic music, a line that runs back to his years fronting the punk band The Mad. It is most widely seen today as a bonus feature on Arrow Video’s Blu-ray release of Society.
By 2004 George’s work was moving away from Hollywood makeup-effects jobs and toward gallery installations and self-funded short films.
